CLOMID  (CLOMIPHENE CITRATE):  This medication is used to treat infertility in women. It works by stimulating an increase in the amount of hormones that support the growth and release of a mature egg (ovulation). This medication is not recommended for women whose ovaries no longer make eggs properly (primary pituitary or ovarian failure).    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  Ovulation Only side effect was a headache one day with fullness in the tummy feeling. The reward far outweighs the risks. Be Positive. Clomid is just the start of options for infertility . 2 months of clomid 50 mg. Blood test shows ovulation but no pregnancy. Asked my doctor to send me for a follicle count. I wanted to know for myself what the clomid is doing. Before clomid, only 3 follicles on one side, zero on the other (normal sb 10-15 on each side). F 33 2 months

 2  infertility blurred vision, loss of appetite, mood swings (anger and crying), and within 30 days of each cycle gained 5 pounds. Gained a total of 10 pounds over 2 cycles which will not come off even with running 5 days per week and eating 1200 calories per day. F 30 2 months

 2  PCOS - anovulatory Nasty headaches, nausea, mood swings, bloating, lack of appetite, increased breast tenderness, depression, increased sensitivity to odors. After taking Provera to induce a period since I don't have my own, took 50mg Clomid on days 3-7. After the last pill day I started started experiencing horrific headaches that most OTC analgesics don't help. Aside from the typical PMS symptoms I have a lack of interest in daily life, and all I want to do is sleep all day. 5 days

 5  anovulation, infertility ttc for 16 months now, this is month 1 on clomid - have only had 3 periods on my own since going off the pill. Before clomid, I took estrogen for 1 month and progesterone for 10 days after having a hysteroscopy to correct a sub-septate uterus. The side effects (emotionally) of the clomid were EXTREMELY mild compared with the estrogen. I really didn't notice any while I was taking the drug. With the estrogen I had night sweats, severe mood swings - with the clomid I didn't really notice anything like this. I have gained 5+ lbs. in <1 month, but I don't know if that is related... I don't know for sure that I ovulated, but I did have the temperature spike at cd 15, so I'm hopeful. I'm on cd 23 now and had a serum progesterone test that I'm waiting to get results from. cd 22 started breast tenderness, SLIGHT nausea - can't imagine that pg symptoms would come on this soon, but I'm hopeful :) I would DEFINITELY take it again (but hopefully don't need to!) F 23 5 days

 5  annovulation the first month i took clomid i had very bad cramping pains. the doctor checked to see if my ovaries were having a bad reaction to the medicine but everything was fine. I have had horrible hot flashes every round of clomid and on the third round i became pregnant on the 50mg days 5-9 but it turned out to be an ectopic. I was off clomid for a few months now I'm back on no success round 4 currently on round 5 hopefully it works since i only can take 6 cycles. no blurred vision but i tend to be more moody. maybe because the hot flashes are uncomfortable. overall i think clomid is great. i never get periods and have been trying for two years so the fact that we were able to concieve at all even though it was an ectopic was a great accomplishment. F 25 5 months

 2  not ovulating I get a little lightheaded, but haven't experienced any bad side effects I have low hormone levels and don't get my period without birth control. I started at 50mg and didn't ovulate. This month I moved to 100mg and according to ovulation tests, I'm still not ovulating. I'm wondering what the chances are that it will work at 150mg. I really want this to work!!! F 27 2 months

 3  PCOS Fatigue, hot flashes and bloating. Also a strange metalic taste in my mouth. On 4th cycle at 150mg, I had some vision issues that happened on day 3 - something that I could describe as light flashes. My doctor said to see an opthamologist and that it had nothing to do with me taking clomid. ??? If acupuncture could do what the clomid is doing, then I'd be off it in a second. F 39 4 months

 1  infertility Nausea,loss of appetite hence weight loss, cramping at ovulation,headaches, bloating, mild depression. I tried 50mg at first no ovulation. 100mg made me ovulate the next time but no pregnancy, the third time on 100mg, no ovulation. I am giving up on clomid because the nausea and loss of appetite have been unbearable I have lost too much weight. I had many tests done and it was found I have gastritis, inflammation of the stomach. My physician, GP and naturopath reckon clomid caused it somehow. I am around day 45 now no period but the nausea has gone and the headaches have only just subsided and my appetite is better, still getting cramping though. F 26 5 months
